Animatable.GetAnimationBaseValue(DependencyProperty) Method

Definition

Returns the non-animated value of the specified DependencyProperty.

public:
 virtual System::Object ^ GetAnimationBaseValue(System::Windows::DependencyProperty ^ dp);
public object GetAnimationBaseValue (System.Windows.DependencyProperty dp);
abstract member GetAnimationBaseValue : System.Windows.DependencyProperty -> obj
override this.GetAnimationBaseValue : System.Windows.DependencyProperty -> obj
Public Function GetAnimationBaseValue (dp As DependencyProperty) As Object

Parameters

dp
DependencyProperty

Identifies the property whose base (non-animated) value should be retrieved.

Returns

The value that would be returned if the specified property were not animated.

Implements

Examples

In the following example, the non-animated values of animated properties are retrieved and displayed.
